A Tip o' the hat to Tony C...
Not that I care about such things, I've never been a "post counter" nor do I care how many posts I've registered... If I have something to say, I say it and prefer not to overstate matters, etc...
However - Noting that I'm about to roll into another digit place with the posts here and that it has been almost exactly five years since a discussion on the phone about all that is Chris Squire led me to this forum, I'd like to thank Tony Cabibe for introducing me here and for all the good things that seem to have happened for Donna and I since that first long phone call.
It started when Chris Clayton gave me the email of a guy he thought might be selling a V63. Within five minutes we were on the phone chatting about our mutual affection for Yes music, Chris Squire and the mighty RM 1999. Since that day we have both met up with Chris and Scotty on several occasions, twice even together (Ft. Pierce, Florida this past March and Boca Raton) and so many other things that I can't even really discuss publicly... Suffice it to say that we (Donna too) were truly blessed with some amazing experiences over the past few years. And it started with my friendship with Tony.
Thanks T and hope we have many more great meals followed by many more great shows!!!
Note: Tony never did sell me that V63 but he did locate another on for me!
Here's Tony and I with two of his babies back in February 2009.

Jim, I agree and I would like to add from personal experience that Tony is a great person and very much a class act. I count myself lucky to have such a good friend.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Congrats on a thousand posts, Jim, and Mr. Tony C is indeed a class act.
